Rants more on XCOM 2, And Overwatch
Posted 9 years agoSo I know i sort of am terrible about posting here and also rant about XCOm a fuckton so lemme fix both of thse prolems. Or just one!
So XCOM 2 is getting a PS4/Xbone Port, and I think a few of my follower mentioned interest in that. So uh gonna say I'm happy since more people get a chance to play XCOM 2.
(I while Firaxis/2K would throw console fans a bone though and release the console version with the currently planned DLC packed in for wairting. And also a full fledged EW expansion)
Here's hoping it runs better on console launch then it did on PC but this is a firaxis game we're talking about.
Also I've been playing a ton of Overwatch of late. It's one of best multiplayer shooters I've touched, and I think I'm fairly okay with it. I'm glad they're trying to make shooter a more positive experience.

Am I leaving? EH...yes and no. This kind of bullshit has gone on long enough that I am really tired and exhausted at it all. i'll still upload here occasionally but i'm just getting tired this. I urge others to dial back usingthis site. The massive userbase is not worth the potential security risk.

ON OVERWATCH! (Added BattleID)
Posted 9 years agoMe; Oh yeah the Overwatch open beta is going one. bit curious about the game, and some friends are playing it so might as well try it! I mean what's the worst that can happen?
*six hours later*
Me:*pre-orders the game*
No seriously this probably the best online shooter in years. It manages to take class based shooters to a whole new level.It invokes the same feeling you get playing TF2 for the first time. Hell I think the game has lot in common with Tf2 as it manages to modernize and fix some of the flaws that have become apparent ove rthe years.
All the classes/Heroes feel different yet powerful and are fun to play. Hell even the Support Heroes are fun. The game's a real looker with some damn fine animations and the characters all have distinct personalities and I love them all.
Yes even Edgelord McFarlane. ANd I will think of dumb nicknames for the entire cast so help me God.
Gooood between this and bloodborne someone help.
Edit:I should prolly give out my battle.tag since it'll be seeing some use now.

Posted 9 years agoDumb ideas for getting arts!
Posted 9 years agoOKAy beenthinking about some ideas on stuff I might wanan comission in the future. Except to see some fresh new faces...and I might bring back some older ideas retooled. Though they might still seem fresh to most of you.
That said I've been on an XCOM and exalted bender. So I'm tempted to get fan-art stuff of my characters as XCOM classes out Exalted. But I wonder if anyone wants to see that.
I am also as a sidenot considering running a game at somepoint. Maybe a heavily modified D&D, Savage Worlds, FATE, Exalted, 3E or One of fantasy Flighty's Star Wars offerings. Any thoughts?

XcOM 2 opinions.
Posted 9 years agoOkAY now that I managed to log in about 24 hours into this game over period of a weekend I think I'm qualfied to talk about what i like and don't like.
THE GOOD/COOL
Customization: Okay so soldier customization has been expanded to insane degrees. The original and EU/EW let you do greta deal of customization, names/Callsigns, race, faces, hair, even armor apperaance and colour and voices. Well 2 expands on that and then some. You can give your soldiers little bios, change thier gender and nationality (So if you wanted a full squad of Zimbabwean women mopping up cheesy aliens you can!). You can customize voices and it even comes with prekacged accents. Indivdual armro parts are customizable. You can even change your soldier's eprosnaility, affect thier stance and even thier lines.
It's fun to spend a good hour tweakinga single soldier to your liking and wtach as they get butchered the next mission.
EXPANDED GAMEPLAY: Gameplay it lot more complicated and hectic and refelcts that in the narrative. late Game EU/EW once you realized how to proceed had you as a well funded elite teamReady to crush the enemy invaders. Here's scrapping by and racing against time. There is lot more happening in the Geoscape.Likewise tactical missions have expanded, randomized maps and objectives.
DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS: You're encourage dto use more explosives now as the maps can be wreaked even more.
NEW CLASSES: i missthe old ones and MECS, but the new classes feel like nice, guerilla deriations of the original four. I was bit ragey about them looking more specialized but reloading does not end your turn. Also gremlins are cute.
VERY PRETTY/MOD Support: this game looks gorgerous and feels tense. Likeiwse Mod support really helps, as it sorta killed EU/EW since the game made ironman too fucking buggy to actually try.
THE BAD/THE IFFY
SO MUCH GOING ON: While it's nice the Geocape was built up more, it creates problem where you're overloaded even early on with the tutorial on. You really got to get used to the game's many, many moving parts.
THE RNG IS A BASTARD SOMETIMNES: this game relies on the RNG a lot. However while stuff like randomized missions are a thing, sometimes it can bite you in the ass in unexpected ways. My thrid Blacksite mission had my Squad Spawn ON TOP OF A SECTOPOD I shit you not. And thankfully it waz sthe only enemy that dropped in on us. It also feels a bit like sometimes even being careful you can suffer a party wipe. A few missed shots and lucky mindspin, a guy guying, a guy panicking, and getting flanked and ina single turn I'm down three guys. Look i understand it's XCOM but even the original gave me like, 8-20 guys. EU/EW rarely felt this unfair.
OH DEAR GOD BUGS: Currently the game is less then optimized. I figured it might have been just me as my computer is about 3 years old now, but I'm not the only person whose complained. It tend to get the most slow down after a fresh load booting up. Also load times are long and frequent.
All in all aside from my miss givings and while not perfect, XCOM 2 a banging sequel and feels fresh and fun. I've had so much fun with it already. I imagine people will be playing it for years to come and it feels like much, MUCH betetr sequel then TFTD was back in the day.
(As much as I adore TFTD's aesthetic greatly)
